I'm not sure its necessarily to do with appetite. when I went on the pill I was told it might make my body store fat more easily, a side effect of the hormones, which affects your metabolism, rather than your appietite.
However, I'm not an expert, and that could easily be another side effect - just not something I've heard of before! :smile:

Sometimes you put on weight, but it's mainly water.
